pinto beans

I have read that Beans are not good to eat after surgery. Anyone out there eat beans after their surgery? I had planned to make them ahead of time and freeze; some blended as puree, and some as is, for a soft food.

It's probably the gas effect of pinto Beans. I love beans and I was also planning on making all types of beans Soup and puree and freeze them.

I had Beans in the puree stage and they were all that made me feel satisfied and better than I had been feeling, since the surgery. I used lowfat cheese too. I could only eat a little bit.. but tiill this day it's my safe go to meal. But each person is different. They do make you too. But I had no pain or bloating discomfort. Good luck

My nutritionist focus a lot on Beans during my sessions. I personally never have any gas reaction after eating beans and hoping it stays that way after my surgery.

thanks to all~

I will also have the gas-x strips that melt in your mouth on hand.

Refried Beans are a fairly classic soft food after surgery, and I usually throw some black beans into my salads. Gas may or may not be a concern depending upon whether or not you are used to having them regularly (your gut biome tends to adapt to these things. You may read some people online calling them down because they are "carbs" and a no-no to them, but that's just them. If you aren't into low carb dieting, then don't worry about it.

If gas is a concern, take Beano with your Beans, works amazingly well.
